Network cards sharing IRQs

do I have to be worried?

I noticed that 2 network cards on the same box are sharing IRQs, thought this was something bad but haven't seen any issues so far. It looks like it's assigning the IRQs through ACPI, 2.6 kernel.

Most information is Windows related, found a guy who had problems with IRQ sharing on the Debian list archives but the post dates back to 1998 which is ancient in Linux terms. Any ideas?
